“Covid-19 has induced global economic shock that will fundamentally change business activity and accelerate technology deployments at the edge of the network”
-Covid-19 has massively disrupted businesses in a short period of time. In this market outlook we attempt to set the scene for how the disruption from Covid 19 will impact telecoms. We recognize that at this time everybody’s focus should be on keeping healthy, acting on clear factual information and ensuring that we have the basics of life. Telecoms will, for now, be a key enabler/foundation for all three of these. However, in the long term the current emergency is both a challenge and an opportunity to our industry. Our intent in producing this paper is to allow us to rise to the challenges and to maximize the opportunities
